Joe Daniher is significantly fitter and athletically more capable than Beaner. Partly development, partly DNA
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Yeah good call that and it gets me wondering whether the Beans major hurdle is simply his output.
He does look to have improved his body from last year but now he's got hat 1st goal out of the way hopefully he
grabs his opportunity and increases that output both on the track and on game day.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Bean moves well, he just needs to get some games to adjust to the AFL pace.  He has some good instincts, a good run of games and he should be able to find his rhythm.  Lets find out please selectors.

Nah, stuff that lets see if he can win the reserves goal kicking a third time.

he has also had an extra year in the system as he was allowed to train with the druggies before being drafted

BTW Mcbean is now 98kg

I'm not sure McBean will:-
A/ get the opportunity
B/ catch up to Joe if he does by next year

Hasn't Daniher had the benefit of a chemically accelerated growth and development program though?

Not seeing much to get excited about with the stick insect. I thought this bloke topped the goal kicking at VFL level 2 years in a row. 

Doesn't even look like he's going to kick a goal IMO, looks at all sea.
Atleast he's keeping up with the no tackling policy in the forward 50.  :rollin

Positives: he's keeping Sideshow out of the team.
The club that keeps giving.

To be fair, the whole team never looks like it can kick an easy goal.

Thing is he looks like a raw first or second year forward not one that's been in the system for 4 years. I'm glad he's being given a run bc we needed to know but he's looking way off (still prefer him to sideshow)

He did a few things, Griffiths was on his game today & taking some big grabs. Just persist with him
